At tho oflice of tiie India Famine Relief Work, Bible House, this city, under the auspices of The Christian Herald, the follow ing cable despatch of yesterday's date ha? been received : Bombay, May 28, 1000. L)r. Klopsch has just completed I his tour of the Famine Districts in Bombay Presidency, including : the native states of Gujerat and ! Baroda. Everywhere he was confronted with shocking and revolting scenes. lie found the famine camps stamped by cholera and | smallpox fugitives who had come from distant points of infection and are now scattering these diseases in all directions. Many are dying in the fields and ditches and along the roadside. At Godhra, about 300 miles of Bombay, in Gujerat district, there were 3,000 deaths from cholera in lour days. At l)onad, some fifty miles east of Godhra, found a similar frightful condition of affairs, there having been 25,000 deaths ! from cholera. In the hospitals the death rate as reported by the physicians was ninety per cent. At Baroda, some seventy miles south of Godhra, he found in the poorhouse 1.200 natives who had been rescued from famine. The place was dreadfully filthy and showed a total lack of system. At Ahmedabad, about eighty miles west of (lodhra, lie found the water supply vitiated and a prolific cause of sickness. In the poorhouse at Alunedabad the deathrate was ten per cent daily. The thermometer at Ahmedabad marked 115 decrees in the shade, lie next visited the small pox and cholera wards of Viramgan. All the patiens were lying on the ground, there being no cots for their accommodation Dr. lvlopsch declares the stories of human bodies being devoured by vultures, dogs and jackals are absolutely true. It is evident, Dr. lvlopsch adds, that the India Government is doing its best to fight back the ravages of famine and disease. The native officials, however, are heartlessly indifferent, and the condition of a large part of India is, as a whole, the worst that has I been known at any time during the century. The distress to he seen on every side is heartrender ing, but it is to he feared that the j worst is yet to come. This will I he reached when the monsoon 'breaks and the torrential rains tlood the relief camps and a large [ part of the famine area, spreading disease, and especially cholera. Dr. Klopach has purchased a thousand hand plows, which will he given to those native agricul I turists who have lost their oxen, lie is now arranging for the pur chase of 100,000 blankets to he I (listirhllted before I lie r:?inv ?<? ? son sets in. I In has protested to the authorities against the employment of nursing mothers, sick women and delicate children on i the relief work*, such employ I mont being in violation of the | famine code. In this connection I he has received an appreciative letter from Lord Northcote, (inventor of Homhay, promising an immediate investigation. It is quite clear, however, that all that has been done will count for little unless in the crisis more help is generously and quickly extended. 0 >TE^ SRMI-W! LANCASTER, S. C., Chinese Boxers. The secret society known as tlie Boxers is creating disturbances which may bring on tlie long threatened cricis in China. The society was originally organized for the commendable purpose of putting down robbery, but it has now been diverted to the purpose of antagonism against all inno vations imported from civilized countries. The Boxers call all foreigners "foreign devils" and they look upon them much as the early Boxers must have looked upon the destructive robbers against whom the society was launched. It is said the empress dowager is favorable to the socie ty. Hence the remarkable bold ness of the present attacks upon foreigners in China. The Boxers are not without excuse in their enmity against foreigners. The poor farmers have been very badly treated by the German and Belgian engineers and railway constructors, who have shown no consideration for the property rights of the Chinese. The Boxers have lately been guilty of destroying much property and of killing missionaries and native converts. They are especially hard on the native converts, whom they look upon as traitors to their country. A serious crisis is imminent. The ultra conservative party is endeavoring to prevail upon the dowager empress to deal leniently with the Boxers and permit them to finish the work ol driving the "foreign devils" out of tho country, while the moderate party desires her to realize the danger i of provoking a conflict with tho powers. The dilemma is a serious one for the empress. No doubt her sympathies are with the con servatives, but the almost certain disintegration ot tho empire in case she does not put down the ii ririni nir un/1 nno.. /. 1> I 4U...h UIKl ??*ru^r IIIC III III Ul'I'h of foreigners makes her hesitate. The United States is not assum ing an aggressive attitude in the ' matter, having but a small force of marines to protect the con- ( sulate and the American citizens who may be in danger. But the European powers will welcome an excuse for breaking the understanding in regard to the open door recently reached with the United States. No better excuse could be found than the opportunity of forcing territory from China in return for damages done foreigners and foreign property I l :ui.. ?? i-_ ? ? 1 I hum pwsHiuijr in return ior inn j | itary operations made necessary by the outbreak. We seriously (loubt whether under the circumstances it would not be better for the United States to take a more positive position. It is reported i that a number of American mis ! | sioi aries have been killed and some are missing. If this is a 1 tact, this country will be lorced to something more than the mere protection of embasies and fugitives. The Boxers are supported bv *loo Reward #100. The readers of thin paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that srienoe has i been able to cure in all its Maxes am! i bat is Catarrh. IIai.i.'h Catarrh i (' 11 hk. is the only positive cure now known t?> the medical fraternity. Catnrrb being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment.
